ha ha - yes. There are some cars I love (seemingly mostly french at this point - apart of course - from the Gordon Keeble and the hinda civic, and the MR2, and the Toyota Previa....) but the more I ride, the more I realize that none can match the visceral nature of riding a motorcycle, particularly at anything…

“.... the bike was designed to fit a niche that in hindsight didn’t really exist. That was a bike for middle class, middle aged suburbanites who were new to motorcycling.” Niche exists and was/is filled by Harley.

yup

It’s still just a car.

Leave the dance with who brung ya: Just keep producing dull stolid cars with and occassional flash of spice, calibrate the speedo so you’re always going 10moh below the speed limit, and don’t tell anyone that 4wd can get you going but it won’t do anything to stop you.  Now where;s my labrador retriever bumper…

Dude - 3 major crashes?  The car may be safe, but you.....

What are the changing aerodynamic conditions inside a car storage humidor. Judging by zagato’s contemporary output, I’d guess a fair portion of those millions will go to his vodka and coke needs. What a waste.

I was just thinking of Sherman today; it must be torture to be only good at one thing and that one thing is the thing you hate most. This quote sums it up. The civil war was the first mechanized war and was a modern hell. I think he knew that without a sure and swift taste of true war, the southern public would…

You say things but you’re not accurate. Iraq invaded Kuwait because Kuwait was violating their sovereignty by drilling sideways into their oil reserves. Hussein informed the players - including the US - of their reasons and intentions to invade, and recieved no adverse replies. The mistake by Hussein was that after…

Dianese and alpinestars are making high tech airbags triggered by sensors. The other types are triggered by a lanyard attached to the bike: The main purveyors are hit-air and helite. I use a hit-air.

Only in the vicinity of pottery wheels.

They may be super human, and sometimes lucky, but physics is remorselessand there’s no such thing as miracles. Motogp mandated airbag suits - looks like they’re working.

Gives midgets a bad name - as if things weren’t bad enough.

Thanks for the effort you put into your reply.

Now we smoke weed with a mod and a tank ...Somewhere in that gap there’s a Tesla update.

As for #1 - just say thank you. #2 - is that bad?

if they’d built it right the first time...

The other thing about sanctions is that to be effective they should have a purpose. The sanctions brought the Iranians to the table and a deal was struck and was being followed. Pure punishment for its own sake has no other affect than to radicalize a country.

I haven’t seen Iran attempt to extend its borders to create a Muslim empire. I’d also ask what religion the “pragmatic Saudi royal family is. Now I’m not an expert on the various Muslim sects, but I do know that the Royal family cut a deal to fund the Madras’s that are a hot bed of radical training, as long as they…

a coup engineered by the CIA against the wishes of the Iranian people.
